Has The Crazy Frog Gone Psycho?

By:Philip Nicosia


A mobile phone rings. You listen. It’s not an MP3 tune of the latest hit. Neither it is the tone that imitates the natural and man-made sounds you hear in a setting. You discern voices, but they’re not names tones nor are they famous lines from popular movies or TV series. If so, then this has to be it. This has to be the latest craze that they are talking about. It’s the Crazy Frog!!!



Crazy Frog will outdo its own current popularity with the release of new variations of ringtones that are ready to be played with the click of a button. In very simple steps – search, click to listen, and choose – you can download your own ringtone or send it to a friend.



This craze was launched in the United Kingdom in 2004 through the hit single “Axel F”, a re-mix by the German-based mobile phone content distributor, Jamba. It hit the waves and soon became the number one top hit list. Its success eventually and easily spread to Australia and the rest of Europe. What makes this frog crazy is actually the sound imitating that of a two-stroke moped engine. From this simple motor sound, Crazy Frog has explored other sound effects or even music and continues to do so. This frog is growing.



Search from amongst its psycho variations as the Crazy Frog interprets songs for the kids, the rock metal enthusiasts, and other themes in English and selected European languages. Each ringtone is loud, not in the decibel sense of the word, but in its persistent blabbing. Yet at the same time, the tunes are catchy, upbeat, and bubbly that no one would surely miss it.



As you listen to Crazy Frog mimicking the ringing sound of a phone (Ring! Ring!), singing a rap, or motor racing, you would just shake your head and grin. You’d ask yourself, ‘What’s that again?’ So you’d click on the button to listen again. And again. It’s oddly distracting yet incredibly humorous. Crazy frog calls your attention either by annoying you, or amusing you. That’s why it’s called Crazy Frog!



If you’re one of those hooked in this trend, there’s no need to fret or brood over your existing mobile if it’s not a recently released model. Crazy frog plays for a long list of models of Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Sagem, Siemens, Sharp, Samsung, Panasonic and LG Mobile. Crazy Frog covers not only Europe and Australia, but the United States and Asia as well. In fact, an assortment of tones is available for the various service providers available in these countries. Crazy Frog is going global!



Really, this Crazy Frog has been keenly observing, listening to the throbs of the public and now its offering ringtones that drive you crazy. Are you ready for it? Be amused. Amuse others. Check out all the new crazy frog ringtones, for nothing written here compares to the fun and madness when you actually hear what this amusingly crazy amphibian is croaking about. Croak! Croak!
